EVER WONDER HOW AMERICA’S THIRST FOR BEER CAME TO BE? THE FOLKS AT THE CHICAGO BREWSEUM HAVE AN ANSWER. B
The Brewseum has turned that sudsy history— at least for their fair city—into a new exhibition hosted by the Field Museum through January 5, 2020. “Brewing Up Chicago: How Beer Transformed a City” looks at who was responsible for the effervescent malty beverage in the metropolis and how the variety of beer styles evolved there.
As Garibay points out, immigrants introduced what has become one of the United States’ patriotic drinks. “Immigrants have always been a major part of our nation’s history. Chicago’s early beer industry relied heavily on the immigrant communities who built our city.”
Housed in a space near one of the Field’s reception rooms, the exhibition takes attendees on a journey from the 1830s to the 1890s. The exhibit opens in 1833 when what is now one of the nation’s greatest cities wasn’t a city at all, but a mere township. It began as a British colony, explains Garibay, so the first beer styles discussed are those connected to the colonists’ tastes—ales, porters and stouts.
To experience the early scene, the exhibition includes a look and a whiff of what it was like to be in a 19th-century bar, specifically Sauganash Tavern, Chicago’s first saloon. Visitors can smell the whiskey and bacon served there.
In the next decade, the 1840s, true German-style lagers were introduced as Germans settled the area. “When they arrived, they brought their cultural practices with them,” Garibay says. “Lucky for us and for America, many were beer makers. This was the industry they worked in and an industry that built the city.”

Before we even get started, let’s be honest about something: Atlanta hasn’t always had the best reputation as a winning sports town. While the braves, falcons, hawks, and yellow jackets have had some level of success over the last 20 years or so, these teams were, for years, mediocre at best.
